I don't think you will get much joy sourcing these from members as said before,
generally a Garage job or hire from a Spares shop.
To expensive to keep for the one off jobs.

But good luck in your search.

I know nothing about the KV6 but is this something you could use to fabricate your own locking system?

Depends on your Location in Country,
add it to your profile to help others.

Here (North Wales) we have two car specialists that hire either 24 hrs or 48 hrs but are not cheap,
but do save the expense of purchasing one off use items,
and ramps and things can be handy instead of storage problems etc.
